The NKT CYKY installation cable is a high-quality solution designed for fixed electrical installations in both residential and commercial buildings. With a robust construction featuring five conductors, each with a cross-section of 6 mm², this cable is engineered to handle power distribution requirements reliably. The cable is encased in a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath, providing excellent protection against environmental factors, and is specifically designed to be UV resistant, making it suitable for various installation conditions in dry and damp environments.
Advantages
This installation cable offers significant benefits for professional electrical projects due to its reliable performance and adherence to safety standards. The use of high-grade PVC for both insulation and the outer sheath ensures long-term durability and resistance to wear. Its UV-resistant properties allow for greater flexibility in placement, while the standardized 5-conductor configuration simplifies complex wiring tasks. The cable meets the Eca flammability class, providing essential fire safety characteristics for building infrastructure.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical installations in residential buildings
- Power distribution in commercial properties
- Wiring in dry and damp indoor environments
- Outdoor installations where UV resistance is required
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high mechanical flexibility, such as moving parts or portable appliances, as it is designed specifically for fixed installations. It should not be used in environments where fire safety requirements exceed the Eca classification.
Key specifications

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by qualified professionals in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. It is designed for fixed mounting, meaning it should be secured within walls, conduits, or cable trays. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radii or mechanical stress during the installation process. When stripping the PVC sheath, use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the underlying conductor insulation.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 6 mm² cross-section is sufficient for your specific load requirements
- Ensure the 5-conductor configuration matches your circuit design
- Confirm that the Eca fire safety rating meets local building regulations
- Check the total length of 500 m to ensure it covers your project scope
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the electrical system is de-energized before beginning any installation work. Regularly inspect the cable for signs of physical damage or degradation if installed in exposed areas.
